to say that I have finally started to look under hood, and learn more
about Equinox and OSGi. After spending some time with OSGi, I feel as
though I am missing some very basic information.
I have spent some time with Neil Bartlett "Getting Started with OSGi"
series (http://neilbartlett.name/blog/osgi-articles/), but it has left
me wanting.
I would like to build a batch application based on OSGi, that is going
to be a long running process. I want to leverage the bundle development
nature of OSGi, with it's bundle management facilities. What I do not
understand is how do I build such an application, run it in the
background (to avoid the console in the foreground), then attach to the
console if I would like to update bundles?
Any help in this area would be appreciated.
Thanks
Carlus

The first thing to know is that when equinox runs under the cover of the
eclipse sdk, it runs in a mode where it automatically exists at the end of
the application, of course such a mode would unlikely be suitable for you.
This mode can be turned off by setting -noExit (this is only needed if you
run from the eclipse.exe or the launcher jar).
In order to get a console to connect to remotely, simply set a port after
the -console argument (e.g -console 83)
Now just to put all that together you can try:
eclipse.exe -console 83 then connect to your localhost using telnet
and you can see all the bundles.
eclipse.exe -console 83 -noExit you will see that when you stop the
workbench the fwk does not exit
The other thing that can be usefull for you is the new application model
(defined in the osgi 4.0 spec) which allows to schedule / lock / run
applications. An example of this app model can be found
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Equinox_Demos
An other resource that could be usefull to you is the list all the
parameters that are supported
